Enlighten Designs, a Kiwi-owned and operated creative technical agency with a presence in both New Zealand and the US, has earned Microsoft’s coveted Co-Sell Ready designation through the Microsoft One Commercial Partner Program.

Enlighten now joins an exclusive group of global software integrators that Microsoft has selected for comprehensive sales and marketing support and go-to-market initiatives.

Through the Microsoft Co-Sell Ready programme, Microsoft’s global sales force will work directly with Enlighten Designs to accelerate their world-class solutions in data and AI.
